Discussion

Growing Dance for Young Audiences

The current SDD 26 selection highlights an ongoing conversation within the Swiss dance scene: how can we strengthen the creation and presentation of work for young audiences? In Switzerland, only a few artists and companies produce regularly for this audience, and opportunities to present such work remain limited. What do artists and programmers need to develop this field — more exchange, expertise, venues, or funding? This short session invites reflection, dialogue, and partnership between the Swiss dance community and ASSITEJ, aiming to inspire new connections and initiatives.

The spaces at Tanzhaus can be reached from Dalmaziquai via the staircase in the bridge pier. For visitors with reduced mobility the Tanzhaus is accessible via a floor-level lifting platform and a lift. A member of staff is present to operate the lifting platform and lift. No registration is required, but there may be short waiting times if there is high demand for the wheelchair accessible entrance.

For access outside performance times, there is a telephone number where you can request assistance.
